The Double-Double is the burger that made In-N-Out famous: two fresh, never-frozen beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and signature spread on a toasted sponge-dough bun. It’s the most-ordered item on the menu — and at around six bucks, maybe the best value in fast food. For the full menu, see our In-N-Out menu with prices (2026) guide.
What Is a Double-Double?
